In the early morning, the morning light fell on the deep houses and courtyards in Xiushuifang.
As a famous gathering area for the wealthy in Xunyang City, these deep residences in Xiushuifang are not only home to wealthy local businessmen and officials in Xunyang, but also
There are also many rich and noble people from Jiangnan Province, Lingnan Province and even the north who come to buy mansions for traveling south to worship Buddha or to escape the heat in the summer.
Xunyang City in Jiangzhou is a well-known place in the world, with famous mountains, rivers and lakes gathered together. It is also adjacent to Kuanglu Mountain, a world-famous summer resort.
It also owns famous temples and temples in the south of the Yangtze River, including Donglin Temple. After all, today's saints took the lead, and the practice of worshiping Buddha was very popular during the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even on ordinary days, there was no shortage of people coming from all over to worship Buddha and fulfill their pious vows, even on ordinary days.
Therefore, what a certain noble lady named Pei said before is correct. It is the truth. The mansion compound in Xunyang City is indeed easy to sell. It is a rare high-quality asset in Jiangnan Road, especially Xiushui, where the Xunyang Prince's Palace is located.
The mansion compound in Fang.
Wei Shaoqi went out early today, took his guards with him, and arrived at the door of Jingyi Court within two steps.
The Wei family had several unused houses in Xiushuifang. Li Li and others had lived in them before. However, after learning that Miss Qin lived in Jingyiting, the third son of Prince Wei waved his hand and splashed the water with money.
I bought a house here and lived directly opposite Mrs. Qin.
Like now, it is very convenient to come and find someone in the morning.
"You all should step back and don't circle around my carriage.
"I have told you so many times that you should keep a low profile when you go out now. If the dog on the roadside likes to pee, just pee. There is no need to slap him twice. After all, this street is not ours, right? Why compete with dogs?
"Go, go, stay away from me. Just leave two secret guards. Miss Qin doesn't like such a big pomp..."
"Yes, Third Young Master."
Seeing that the Xianbei guards surrounding the carriage dispersed in pieces, Wei Shaoqi nodded with satisfaction and glanced at the burly hatted horseman who stayed behind like an honest farmer. He lowered the curtain and let out a long breath.
However, Wei Shaoqi looked down at his hand that had not yet been bandaged, and his expression turned gloomy.
It's a sunny day today, and it's another day to go hunting with Miss Qin.
I hope I don't encounter a hedgehog this time.
He glanced at a treasure box on the small table in the spacious carriage, opened it, and took out a pair of soft gloves.
Wei Shaoqi touched the soft gloves. They were ice cold. He didn't know what kind of strange material they were made of.
"I specially ordered a pair of ice silk gloves from the treasury of Prince Luojing's Palace. These gloves can protect against common swords, guns and sharp weapons. This time, no matter how high your hunting skills are, I will not be afraid of throwing a porcupine at you."
He sneered and geared up for a while, he wanted to ask for advice today.
At this moment, the deep voice of a burly groom wearing a hat came from outside:
"Third Young Master, someone is out."
Wei Shaoqi opened the curtain and looked around, and saw a carriage with a banner with the word "Xie" driving out of Jingyi Court, leaving Jingyi Court and going nowhere.
"It's okay, it's not Miss Qin, it's the noble daughter of the Xie family. She should have gone to find her cheap senior brother. I heard from Wang Lengran that she now goes to Jiangzhou Hall every morning to find Ouyang Lianghan.
"It's still early, Miss Qin hasn't come out yet, please continue to wait."
While he said it calmly, he glanced at the plaque of Jing Yiting with a frown.
The personal friendship between Miss Qin and the noble daughter of the Xie family made Wei Shaoqi frown.
The Xie Xun faction of the Xie family in Chen County has always been close to the Prince Xunyang's Palace. This noble daughter of the Xie family should also be helping the Prince Xunyang's Palace, and Miss Qin just settled in this palace in Xunyang City.
Living under the same roof as Miss Qin, I don't know if this noble daughter of the Xie family has influenced Miss Qin and said bad things about their Wei family.
"I just read in the newspaper that Lin Cheng, Hu Fu and the others are going to Jiangzhou Hall to find Ouyang Lianghan early this morning?"
"Yes, Third Young Master."
Wei Shaoqi nodded slowly, squinting and saying nothing.
Just as he was lost in thought, a low-key and luxurious four-wheeled carriage drove out of the Jingyi Courtyard again. It did not hang any flags, and the curtains were tightly closed. However, looking at the faint purple and patterns on its curtains, there should be something inside
Sitting there was a woman who was either rich or noble.
The car drove slowly through the street in front of Wei Shaoqi and disappeared without a trace.
Wei Shaoqi suddenly shouted:
"Who is this? In addition to Miss Qin and the noble daughter of the Xie family, there are other important people in Jing Yiting."
The burly carriage lowered its head: "I don't know, this carriage looks a bit strange. Maybe it came to stay overnight. I haven't seen it before."
Wei Shaoqi said dissatisfied:
"From now on, we will send people to keep an eye on her at night, all day long, to prevent people from the Xunyang Palace from coming into contact with Miss Qin, especially that brat named Li Fusu."
"Yes, Third Young Master."
"Send someone to follow and see where this carriage has gone."
"As commanded."
The burly groom immediately got off his horse and went to a secret post not far away to make arrangements for tracking.
Wei Shaoqi glanced at the sky, calmed down his impatient expression, and straightened his appearance.
But at this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps of guards coming from outside the carriage.
"How many times have I told you, when I see Miss Qin, you all should get the fuck out of my way. My words are of no use now, right? All of you have gained courage."
Wei Shaoqi's face became furious and he was about to get angry.
The four guards who rushed over immediately lowered their heads and begged for mercy. One of the guards said cautiously:
"Young Master, there is an important secret letter that needs to be sent urgently. You have previously ordered that no matter what you are doing, as long as it is a letter from this person, it must be handed over as soon as possible. Young men..."
Wei Shaoqi's expression paused for a while, then regained his composure. He first glanced at Jing Yiting, who was still motionless, and stretched out his palm:
"I did say, okay, I'll spare your life this time, please bring me the letter."
"Thank you, Third Young Master... Many thanks, Third Young Master..."
After handing over the envelope, all the guards clasped their fists in gratitude and respectfully left.
Wei Shaoqi took the envelope, tore off the wax seal and pulled out a folded piece of letter paper.
He lowered his eyes and browsed.
At a certain moment, the pupils shrank slightly and then suddenly lit up.
"good."
Wei Shaoqi slapped his thigh fiercely, his palm holding the letter shook up and down in the air, and he exclaimed:
"What a great move to bring the fire under the kettle. I read you right. Hahaha, you are so sleepy that you came here to give me a pillow and ask us, Mrs. Wei, if you agree? Of course I agree!"
"And if you ask that, you are out of sight. We are all our own people, so why are you so polite? Hahahaha..."
The burly horseman in a hat who returned didn't know what was going on, and turned around curiously.
"Third Young Master..."
Wei Shaoqi suddenly lost his smile, narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hand and said:
"Where's Wang Lengran? Call him over."
"As ordered, Third Young Master, please wait a moment."
The burly groom wearing a hat got out of the car again...
After a while, Wang Lengran's car stopped at a street intersection not far from Jingyiting.
I saw the Jiangzhou governor trotting to the front of Wei Shaoqi's carriage. Through a window, one high and one low, he raised his head and clasped his fists, and asked respectfully:
"Third Young Master called Bei Zhi over. What are your instructions?"
"Wang Lengran, see for yourself! What is a surprise? This is a surprise!"
Wei Shaoqi threw the thin book in his hand into Wang Lengran's arms and laughed arrogantly:
"Open your eyes and see, this is the talent that our Wei family favors, the good cook that Uncle Wang values. How dare your good-for-nothing boy covet my Wei family's daughter? You, too, dare to
Concerned about marriage, my son-in-law, the Wei family, wants a wolf, not a sheep or a fool!"
It seems that after these days of getting along, he has already figured out the temperament of the third son of Prince Wei, who is sometimes crazy and sometimes charitable. Wang Lengran wiped the spittle on his face, nodded like garlic, and followed his words.
speak.
"Yes, yes, what the Third Young Master said is, well, what letter is this..."
Wang Lengran frowned and lowered his head to browse the letter.
After just reading a few sentences, he blurted out in surprise:
"Lin... Lin Lingtai Lang?
"He turns out to be one of ours? The third young master said he wanted to do three things in Xunyang City, and the remaining one turned out to be to bring Princess Anhui to Jiangzhou to meet him..."
Wang Lengran suddenly realized it, his eyes immediately became serious, and he lowered his head and continued browsing.
After reading this letter, he was amazed:
"This move of turning against the guest is too harsh..."
"The more ruthless ones are yet to come, huh."
Wei Shaoqi looked west toward the peaks of the twin peaks, his eyes like hungry wolves.
Wang Lengran suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Didn't I hear someone say in the morning that he and the envoy from Hu Zhong went to the Jiangzhou lobby to discuss the matter of returning to Beijing with Ouyang Lianghan? Why did he suddenly come so cruelly..."
Wei Shaoqi waved his hand and said:
"It's nonsense to discuss. That boy is playing tricks on Ouyang Lianghan. His teacher is the deputy supervisor of Si Tianjian. He has a way to help make suggestions in front of His Majesty. Lin Cheng has already submitted a memorial to Luoyang in advance, and also gave him
The teacher has written a letter, but it is impossible to just inform our Wei family!"
He had a sneer on his face and his tone was very emotional:
"Lin Cheng is cautious and meticulous in his work. He is good at understanding the Holy Heart, taking advantage of the wind and taking advantage of the situation. He is good at connecting all forces. He is like an excellent cook. As long as he is given meat, he can make a dish that is suitable for most dignitaries, including the Holy Emperor.
A delicious dish for your appetite...Wang Shuliang Wang’s original comment was absolutely correct!
"Since he chose Yin Ouyang Lianghan, he will not give Ouyang Lianghan any chance to reverse it. At least he was 80% sure before he took action. Just wait and see!"
Wang Lengran was about to speak but stopped:
"Third Young Master, Brother Lin is really powerful this round, but Ouyang Lianghan is really cunning and should not be underestimated..."
Wei Shaoqi interrupted:
"Don't worry, Lin Cheng will not make such a low-level mistake of being arrogant. However, Wang Lengran, I have discovered it. Are you scared to death? No wonder you let Ouyang Lianghan jump up and down in Xunyang City for so long.
, those who are timid are really cowardly.”
"Third Young Master, the main reason is that he is too demonic sometimes..."
Wei Shaoqi interrupted by flicking his sleeves, stretched out his hand and pointed directly at the letter in Wang Lengran's hand, and said involuntarily:
"From now on, I will fully cooperate with Lin Cheng in the affairs of Xunyang City. You will listen to him and treat me as my master. Do you understand? He is the future son-in-law of my Wei family!"
"Yes, Third Young Master."
Wang Lengran lowered his head and couldn't help but look at the letter paper filled with eloquent writing.
Wei Shaoqi clapped his legs in admiration and laughed endlessly:
"Hahaha, Lin Cheng, you gave our Wei family a big gift without saying a word. You are so interesting. Hahaha, let's consider it as your betrothal gift to Wei family! I am very satisfied with you as my brother-in-law...
…”
At this moment, the gate of Jingyi Court opened not far away, and Miss Qin, dressed in a rustic Hu dress, rode out with a bow on her back.
"Okay, please step back and go find Lin Cheng."
Wei Shaoqi waved his hand to chase people away.
"I resign from my humble position."
Wang Lengran took the letter into his arms and left in a hurry.
Wei Shaoqi straightened up his appearance, walked forward, and greeted Qin Ying with a smile on his face.
"Good morning, Miss Qin."
"Good morning, Mr. Wei."
Qin Ying asked again: "Are you still going? Mr. Wei, is that okay?"
"Okay, there is no one better than me."
Qin Ying looked at Wei Shaoqi's expression and asked curiously:
"Is there any happy event today? Mr. Wei looks like this."
I saw Wei Shaoqi raising his head, forty-five angles, squinting at the sun above his head, and then he showed Qin Ying a smile that was brighter than the sun:
"Didn't Miss Qin often say before that she wants me to learn from Ouyang Changshi and do something beneficial to the Zhou Dynasty? By coincidence, I will have the opportunity to do it soon."
"What chance?" she asked.
Wei Shaoqi smiled slightly and did not answer.
Under Qin Ying's curious eyes, he got on his horse and led the way out of the city.
…
Jiangzhou lobby, meeting hall.
After Lin Cheng left.
There was silence inside and outside the lobby.
Khufu looked around and asked cautiously:
"Ouyang Changshi, what did you say just now that you are so stupid that you will lose everything? No...it's not that serious. Does Lin Cheng want to take credit and seek benefits from you? If you don't give it to him, I will file a letter to ask for relocation.
Making trouble?
The bearded eunuch lowered his chin silently, as if thinking about Ouyang Rong for a while, he frowned and sighed:
"Well, this kind of behavior is actually very common in the palace. Our family has long realized that this guy is delaying his return to the capital. We also reminded him before, but we didn't expect him to be so demanding.
It’s ugly, why don’t you promise some benefits and let us help spread the word..."
Rong Zhen suddenly interrupted: "Eunuch Hu, you dare to interfere with the Donglin Giant Buddha, which is controlled by King Xunyang. Lin Cheng obviously wants more than gold, silver and jewelry, and the people who give him the confidence behind him are not limited to his feedback.
Give something back.”
Ouyang Rong turned a deaf ear and first made a move:
"Rokuro, come over here."
He whispered a few words into the ear of Yan Liulang in front of him.
Immediately, Hu Fu, Rong Zhen saw Yan Liulang with a serious face, and walked out quickly, not knowing where he went.
Ouyang Rong turned his head and sighed towards Rongzhen:
"Before today, I thought that Lin Cheng just wanted to steal your position. He had been saying that the feng shui of the two peaks was not good for his luck. Now it seems that he may not be lying, but his appetite is not small at all.
."
Rong Zhen tilted his head, was silent for a while, and answered:
"I have said it before, and I will say it again, Lin Cheng cannot take away my position, he is not qualified to enter my Dharma Eyes, he has self-awareness.
"So this time...Lin Cheng is completely targeting you and the Prince of Xunyang. Ouyang Lianghan, if the two plans are at similar costs and do not need to be postponed, His Majesty will definitely be tempted. Lin Cheng is sure of this and dares to come forward.
Cut off the beard.”
Ouyang Rong nodded: "I know."
Rong Zhen saw his calm face and couldn't help asking: "Do you have any ideas?"
"Not yet."
"Then what should we do? Take a step back?"
"Don't take an inch back." He shook his head.
"Not taking an inch back?"
"No retreat."
"What if you are forced to retreat?"
Ouyang Rong remained silent for a long time and quoted:
"I have a good heart, and even though I died nine times, I still have no regrets."
